Morning Rituals equals Life Rituals

It’s 4:02 am and my alarm has just gone off. I head to the restroom on the way to the kitchen where my hot cup of coffee is awaiting my lips. It’s my favorite part of the day and has been for the last decade.

It’s time to get motivated.

Not sure how I’m going to do that, I never have a plan, but that’s why I’m waking up so early.

I typically start with the word “MOTIVATION” in the search bar of Youtube. From there I browse most viewed videos and cross-check that with a bunch of thumbs up. I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember.

I just listen. Sitting on the couch, sipping on my coffee, waiting patiently for that one line that triggers inspiration. And every day it changes, as it should. It’s very cheesy I know, but it works for me.

The importance is not the video in itself but what actually gets said. It creates a trigger in my mind that gets me excited to do life. That voice encourages me to do something great today. And the day’s I don’t do this I find myself aimless. I do end up getting my work done but it doesn’t feel as fruitful.

My morning routine is a constant reminder that every morning starts a new page. Might as well make it a great one.
